Description ulfzibis 2008-08-29 09:50:48 UTC 
[ BUILD # : Beta ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_07 ]

IMHO negative property names should be avoided.
Also properties are sorted alphabetically hierarchical. "diasable.*"
brakes this order.

The name of the CoS property in private.properties (+
project.properties?) "disable.compile.on.save=false" is not really
providential and helpful.
We also have:
  javac.debug=true
and not:
  disable.javac.debug=false

ant project issue
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2008-10-17 23:22:09 UTC 
Several people complained about disable.compile.on.save but it may be too late now for 6.5.
Comment 3 Jan Lahoda 2008-10-18 08:12:00 UTC 
The property is not used anymore.

Comment 4 ulfzibis 2008-10-18 18:46:17 UTC 
I found both properties in Build 200810130704 (userdir was copied from older build), so I could delete old version.
Maybe importer should transform this ?
